BY BILL MOLLISON Pamphlet I in the Permaculture Design Course I INTRODUCTION TO PERMACULTURE BY BILL MOLLISON Pamphlet I in the Permaculture Design Course Series PUBLISHED BY YANKEE PERMACULTURE Barking Frogs Permaculture Center Publisher and Distributor of Permaculture Publications POB 52, Sparr FL 32192-0052 USA. Email: [email protected] Edited from the Transcript of the Permaculture Design Course The Rural Education Center, Wilton, NH USA 1981 Reproduction of this Pamphlet Is Free and Encouraged AN INTRODUCTION TO PERMACULTURE This is the first in a series of 15 pamphlets based on the 1981 Permaculture Design Course given by Bill Mollison at The Rural Education Center, Wilton, New Hampshire, USA. Elizabeth Beyor, without compensation, transcribed tape recordings of the course and subsequently edited them into the 15 pamphlets. Thelma Snell typed all 15 pamphlets and laid-out most of them. Lisa Barnes contributed illustrations to pamphlets II, IX, and XI. Bill Mollison edited the pamphlets for accuracy and style, as did I, their publisher, Dan Hemenway. I also performed computer typesetting for this edition. After about 10 years of using Thelma's typescript, we were able to offer a typeset version, which is at once more compact, saving trees and money, and more readable. Now we also offer the pamphlets in electronic form, so that they may be read directly by computer without use of any paper, saving more trees. This edition has been slightly re- edited to make it more readable, accurate, and up-to-date. In deference to the monumental tasks of love in this work, often painstaking, always careful and caring, and with Bill MollisonÕs consent, I have placed these pamphlets in the public domain. Their reproduction is free to all and encouraged. Credit, above all to Bill Mollison and secondly to Yankee Permaculture, is proper and appreciated. We have rough Spanish translations of a few Permaculture Design Course Pamphlets, some French translations, and some German translations. To obtain the latest list of translations we have available, order Permaculture Paper #27 from the Yankee Permaculture order form. This is our list of special order documents. Volunteer translators are needed, particularly for Spanish versions. Since these pamphlets are in the public domain, we expect that there are translations of which we have not heard. If you encounter any, please let us know. Through the efforts of volunteers, we have placed this survey of permaculture in the public domain, supplementing the copyrighted material that is available. Just as we encourage you to reproduce these pamphlets, we urge you to respect the copyright of other permaculture books and publications. Always request permission to reproduce copyrighted material. Always abide by the decision of the copyright holder. Volunteers are still greatly needed in all phases of our permaculture work. We hope that these pamphlets encourage you to join the champions of Earth, our mother, whether you call your work permaculture, something else, or no particular name at all. And if you wish to pursue permaculture, please note that we offer a large selection of permaculture publications, a journal, a correspondence Permaculture Design Course, and that we are also available to deliver lectures, lead workshops, and teach Permaculture Design Courses anywhere in the world.

Subsequently, Stefan was asked many questions about permaculture, orchards, fruit trees, etc. I decided to compile the questions about the permaculture orchard and the answers here. Most of the questions are taken from the following sources: The permies.com forum, in the growies / forest garden section. Les Fermes Miracle Farms Facebook page The Permaculture Orchard: Beyond Organic’s forum section Lastly, I want to specify that I claim no authorship or any credits at all for what follows, it’s all from elsewhere and only 2 or 3 of the questions are actually mine. If you have any questions for Stefan, especially after watching the movie: The Permaculture Orchard, Beyond Organic, please post them on the movie’s website forum. This is a long thread so to find what you are looking for, you might want to do CTRL F and type the term you want in the search box. It should work in your PDF reader too.

  • Engineering and Technology Innovation for Global Food Security
    Engineering and Technology Innovation for Global Food Security A report on the 2016 Global Initiative Conference at Stellenbosch, South Africa, hosted by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) Since its founding in 1907, the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has supported research and promoted solutions in food, agriculture, natural resources, and the environment. Today, our fast‐growing global population, which is estimated to reach 9.2 billion in 2050, creates new challenges that will require new solutions. To address these challenges, and recognizing the need to unite its international membership with other organizations, ASABE implemented a global vision in 2012: ASABE will be among the global leaders that provide engineering and technological solutions toward creating a sustainable world with abundant food, water, and energy, and a healthy environment. ASABE recognizes three critical themes among these challenges—food security, water security, and energy security, all in the context of sustainability and climate change. These three themes were explored in a report titled “Global Partnerships for Global Solutions: An Agricultural and Biological Engineering Global Initiative” (available at http://www.asabe.org/media/195967/globalinitiative.pdf). In that previous report, ASABE identified specific goals and objectives related to food, energy, and water security. As part of its Global Initiative toward achieving these goals and objectives, ASABE is organizing an on- going series of conferences focused on the three themes. The first Global Initiative Conference, titled “Engineering and Technology Innovation for Global Food Security,” convened October 24-27, 2016, at Stellenbosch, South Africa. This conference brought together agricultural and biological engineers and other international experts from academia, government, and industry to meet with local stakeholders and address the challenges of producing and providing safe and healthy food in a sustainable manner for the growing population.
